Rugby: Chichester youngsters hammer Horsham
Choosing to play with the wind behind them in the first half, Chichester immediately put pressure on the Horsham pack, using well-worked drills to gain turnover and allowing Lewis Woolcombe to burst through the Horsham defensive line after five minutes for the first try.
Chichester used the wind to their advantage, pinning Horsham into their 22, and Jackson Chamberlain ran on to a crash ball and went through the Horsham forwards on his way over the line, with Simon Ward converting to make the score 12-0
